Secular plays in this period existed, although documentation is not as extensive. Farces were popular, and the earliest known vernacular farce was the French Le garcon et l'aveugle ("The Boy and the Blind Man"), dating from the thirteenth century. In England, Robin Hood plays were popular, and all over Europe interludes with simple plotlines were performed at various social functions. Secular dramas were usually performed in winter indoors, and were often associated with schools, universities, and nobility, who would have the resources, time, and space to perform organized plays.2
